While the fashion show serves to allow students to dress in high quality fashions while raising money for a worthy cause, it also allows some students to present the clothing they designed in school.
“The [Fashion Show Production] class teaches students how to put together a fashion show and also how to make clothes for a fashion show,” Murphy said. “We are one of the few high schools on Long Island to offer such a class.”
She noted that several students currently in the class have received early acceptance to the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in California and to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York
